Chapter 22 Begging For Forgiveness
Soon, the group of ladies caught up with Alex and his wobbly electric scooter.
“Sir, please wait!”
It was an eye-catching sight to see the ladies surround Alex.
Many of the passersby were confused. What, did this guy not pay at the brothel? Why are so many women chasing him?
Alex frowned when he saw the ladies.
“We’re sorry, sir! We were in the wrong. Please forgive us!” one of the ladies apologized. We have no choice but to apologize here. If we can’t get Alex back, we’ll all be fired by Mr. Stanton!
“Sir, anyone could tell that you’re someone important. I’m sure you wouldn’t hold it against us girls. Our manager has instructed us to bring you back, or we’ll all be fired.”
“That’s right. All of us come from poor families, so this job means a lot to us. We wouldn’t know what to do if we lose our jobs.”
“Sir, my mother is hospitalized. If I lose my job, I won’t be able to pay her hospital bills. Please ignore what we said earlier and forgive us.”
“Sir, please come back with us.”
They continued to exaggerate their situation in front of Alex.
Although Alex knew that most of them were putting on an act, many people had gathered to watch. He hated this feeling.
“Alright, let’s settle it back there,” Alex nodded and made a U-turn.
The ladies looked relieved.
“Sir, please take my electric scooter instead. It’s more stable,” one of them offered her ride to Alex.
Alex did not refuse. Well, it is tiring trying to balance on my own scooter.
Soon, they arrived back at the Audi main branch, and the ladies escorted Alex into Luke’s office.
“M-Mr. Jefferson,” Luke greeted him with a smile and waved to dismiss the car dealers.
Alex took a seat on the sofa and sneered, “Why did you call me back for? Did you want to humiliate me further?”
“M-Mr. Jefferson, I’m sorry, this was all one big misunderstanding,” Luke chuckled awkwardly.
“Misunderstanding?” Alex scoffed. “Are you referring to the fact that you didn’t know who I was, or that you were trying to hit on my wife?”
Luke’s face fell. F***! I tried to hit on the wife of the chairman of Four Seas Corporation right in front of him!
“Mr. Jefferson, I’m terribly sorry! I won’t think of doing anything so shameful to H- I mean your wife anymore!” Luke apologized.
“Not like you’d dare to,” Alex snorted.
“Mr. Jefferson, are you here to discuss the contract with me?” Luke changed the subject.
Alex scoffed, “Do you think that I’d still want to be business partners with you?”
Luke’s face fell. If I mess up the deal with Four Seas Corporation, I’ll definitely be fired! Lately, Audi’s sales had suffered a great drop. The Four Seas Corporation’s Flair of the City is a major project with good advertising. It’ll definitely have many views. If Audi gets this advertisement, our sales will definitely skyrocket! That’s why we’re spending one billion on this!
“I’m horribly sorry, Mr. Jefferson! I was a fool to have insulted you! Please forgive me!” Luke bowed towards Alex and apologized.
Alex lit a cigarette and jeered, “I can work with you, but first, get down on your knees and beg for forgiveness.”
Luke shook with anger. Alex, you’re going too far!
Alex scoffed and started walking towards the door.
Bam! Luke fell onto his knees.
Although Luke was indignant, he knew that he could not afford to let Alex go like this.
“Mr. Jefferson, I’m terribly sorry! Please forgive me!” Luke got down on his knees and bowed his head down low.
“Since you’re so sincere about this, I’ll let the matter slide this time. Check the contract and sign it,” Alex scowled and tossed the contract onto the table.
“Thank you, Mr. Jefferson!” Luke took a deep breath and crawled up to check the contract.
The contract was as both sides had discussed prior. After reading through it, he signed the contract.
Alex and Luke kept their respective copies of the contract. After that, Luke suggested, “Mr. Jefferson, you mentioned buying a car earlier, didn’t you? We can provide you with one for free.”
He wanted to establish friendly ties with Alex. After all, Alex was the chairman of the Four Seas Corporation. He had not hoped that Alex would help him in his career but would be satisfied if Alex did not bear a grudge.
“Are you sure about that?” Alex taunted.
“Yes! You can pick whichever one you like!” Luke nodded.
As the manager in Audi’s of Nebula City, he was entitled to giving away a car worth less than a million. He would have to pay for anything that exceeds that amount.
It happened that he had not used his quota yet.
Of course, there were restrictions as to who he could gift a car to – it had to be a client whom Audi had business dealings with.
Under the guidance of Luke, Alex picked a new RS7 model.
“I’ll have this one then,” Alex decided.
Luke’s face fell. That car is worth one million and eight hundred thousand! This guy is shameless!
“Why, have you changed your mind?” Alex sneered.
“Of course not, Mr. Jefferson. If you like this model, then I’ll give it to you!” Luke replied with a troubled expression. I have to pay eight hundred thousand from my own pocket!
“Alright then, let’s settle the license plate,” Alex nodded.
Luke nearly coughed up blood when he heard that. You’re asking me to pay for the license plate as well? Damn it, must you really go so far?
“Sure, sure,” Luke replied, almost in tears.
I should never have offended Alex! Well, at least all I’m losing is money.
“Are you buying this car?” Jessica walked over and asked in shock. She had just bought an A6 herself.
Alex shook his head at Jessica, “Does it look like I can afford a car like this?”
Jessica nodded, “That’s right. A live-in son-in-law like you can probably afford a car in the range of a few hundred grand, at best.”
“That’s right. I can’t even afford that! I usually commute using an electric scooter,” Alex chimed in.
He was laughing his head of internally. I’d like to see her face when she learns that I’m her boss tomorrow!
“This RS7 is beautiful! It must be great to be able to have a ride in this car,” Jessica’s eyes gleamed.
At this point, Luke, who had just finished the procedures, placed a temporary license plate on Alex’s car and passed him the relevant documents. Alex then got onto the car.
“What’re you doing?” Jessica asked in shock.
Alex simply ignored her and drove off.
“Wha-” Jessica stared with her mouth agape. Heather’s useless husband was able to buy an RS7? Impossible!
